2012 Lineup

[thetime]

why were interpol crap? saw them on there tour last year and they were very good.

[mrtourette]

Dull, uninspiring, unable to get the crowd going (didn't help that they were sandwiched between Friendly Fires and Elbow who both did a good job at that). The crowd was getting smaller and smaller as their set went on.

[JT436]

I thought their set last year was fantastic, it was what turned my mood around after all of the terrible weather! Although I was in the middle of a group of big Interpol fans who were all pretty active; the rest of the crowd looked a bit still from where I was.

Page 500!

it still says on the website that it is "their only UK show". Which is odd because I swear it had been changed to "first UK show". It does however not specify a timeframe at all... "only UK show"... when? Ever? or at the moment?

[she bangs the drums]

Ax7 are boyband metal.

Right, judging by other UK festival announcements and the rumours for R/L at the moment I can see the following all playing this year:

Foo Fighters

Kasabian

The Black Keys

Florence and the Machine

The Vaccines

Tenacious D

The Maccabees

Two Door Cinema Club

The Temper Trap

The Darkness

Miike Snow

Foster the People

Metronomy

Tribes

The Courteeners

Chase and Status

The Cribs

Dizzee Rascal

Refused

Kaiser Chiefs

I know this doesn't really make any more news than we already have about who's playing, but thought I'd just put a list together to see where we were at with bands that are probably going to play. I'm not quite as knowledgeable about heavier acts as I'm sure some people would be on here so I'm sure there's more acts nailed on. Was looking at the Download lineup and any of those bands on the undercard could play I thought, but I feel more in my comfort zone looking at the T and V announcements (both of which I think are w***, especially V).

Think these are all realistic?

Chase and Status are a download excusive!

[PurpleFire]

They're playing T. Or do you mean English exclusive?

[mb23]

Yeh must be! I new they was somthing like that!

Where does it say that they're Download exclusives?

[thetime]

Chase and Status are a download excusive!

[mb23]

Add Kaiser Chiefs to that list!

[thetime]

think chase and status got to have a big chance playing r&l as Im sure there not download exclusive and not in the v lineup.

[thetime]

Would also include the following to have a chance of playing.

Mazzy star

bloc party

justice

skrillex

gossip

bat for lashes

mumford

[PurpleFire]

Ok chase and Status might not be an exclusive? I read that they was when the line-up was released but reading it back it has nothing of the sort! I was convinced!

Chase and Status at download is comical anyways!

[mrtourette]

I think they could be in with a shout of headling the NME/R1 tent whatever night the dance tent isn't on. Melvin Benn said that he thought 2manydj's was a big success and seemed to suggest that he'd like to do that sort of thing again.

The 10000th post was a double.. boo!

[evilduck]

I'm just going to prepare myself for the worst and expect that Florence is headlining. That way if its anyone else it will be a nice surprise.
